Verdict
Jade De Grugy went for €230,000 after landing a bumper in the French Provinces in October last year and has joined Willie Mullins. Henry De Bromhead has a good record in this and Huntingdon bumper winner Rosalys looks certain to improve for her hurdling debut at Navan in September where she made several novicey mistakes. Rachael rides her rather than Cobra Queen, who made a fair start for the yard at Wexford. Joyeux Vivo needs to improve but Queen Of Seduction won on heavy ground on the Flat in October. BUTCHER HOLLOW, a winning point-to-pointer and bumper, probably caught a live one when runner-up to Jigaro at Navan and with improvement likely will take some beating.
